There are many reasons why sucharticles appear, and none of them are of the kind that merit a formal complaint or response. I have acouple of speaking opportunities coming up with IREX – I could say something about “responsiblejournalism” – thoughts?S.

There are some important issueshere, but I agree with Patricia that we should not dignify the flawed article with a direct response.However, I would not be against any efforts by the TV stations themselves, or the TMC to join thefray in the interest of clarifying some of the issues raised for the benefit of the viewing public.These are not trivial matters but the interpretations and conclusions reached by JAVA article areflawed. I am also curious as to how this information found its way into the public domain, so tospeak, and the intentions of the authors. Tina, lets have a meeting with the new PAO at USOP todiscuss the issues surrounding this article so that their side is aware and clear. Patricia, if youhave time, could you also join us as your background with our favorite sector would be veryuseful. Thanks.Miles Toder Ph.D.19
